Is Raw Story considered a credible source?

I found this on their site:

FLASHBACK: Trump’s charity donated to James O’Keefe’s right-wing ‘sting’ organization

In 2015, The Trump foundation donated to James O’Keefe right-wing organization Project Veritas, which is known for conducting sting operations on left-leaning groups, the Washington Post’s David Farenthold reports.

The $10,000 donation was provided by Trump’s namesake charity after Project Veritas “[pitched] Trump on their work,” according to Farenthold. As Newsweek notes, that donation helped fund O’Keefe’s videos, including one alleging protestors at Trump’s rallies were paid $1,500 by Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

5. Not at all

They were the ones screaming FITZMAS THE LOUDEST.

A left wing version of Drudge.

6. no. rawstory is not even a source. just click bait to serve ads and put cookies all over your

hard drive. using it as a source is lazy when the actual source from whom they take their content is obvious

7. Raw Story includes a tweet from David Farenthold

A mainstream reporter who did in fact investigate The Trump Foundation, so I am sure it's legitimate.

8. A lot of the independent media I watch uses Raw Story.

9. They aren't an original source; they are a news aggregator

with a lot of click-bait. Their come-ons tend to be a bit hyperbolic but they cite their sources, so you can go directly to those sites.
